Declaring t... hootleggers are get- ting enormously wez.chy and that the Government is losing revenue, Coun- cillor Daniel W. Lane offered an crder which was passed by the City Counecil, in favor of an amendment to the Vol- stead Act, to permit the manufacture and sale of beer and light wines. “*l believe that the couutry is not satis- fied with the workings of thin awful Volsted Act’’, saigd Mr. lLate. *The bootleggers are getting enormously weal- thy and the Government is losing re. venue. A tax we will say of $1 a gal- lon on wine and 25 cenis a gallon on beer would, in the course of ten years, pay all the bonuses that the former service men want and pay off all of the Liberty Bonds ”’ 'e cited the Cities of Chicago, Mil- wauk. », Baltimore, Cincinnati and St. Louis % passing similar resolutions.
